COVID-19 and military justice (USS Theodore Roosevelt)

The New York Times has a major investigative report on the case of Captain Brett E. Crozier and the coronavirus aboard USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71). Here a lede that makes you want to keep reading:
The captain had reached a breaking point.

The aircraft carrier he commanded, the Theodore Roosevelt, was docked in Guam as the coronavirus raced unchecked through its narrow corridors. The warship’s doctors estimated that more than 50 crew members would die, but Capt. Brett E. Crozier’s superiors were balking at what they considered his drastic request to evacuate nearly the entire ship.
